The apparel displays a picture of Lawrence burning in William Quantrill’s Raid of 1863. Below the picture is the word “Scoreboard” and a University of Missouri logo.
“They burned the town. It’s related to slavery and anti-slavery cram around this town and that’s just not something I would really want attached to sports,” said Emily Baucom a KU senior from Lawrence.
Another KU senior said while KU fans have worn “Muck Fizzou” shirts the “Scoreboard” shirt goes too far.
“(Muck Fizzou is) just more of a vulgar comment than a history of violent act. It’s just something completely different,” said Cory Abbott a KU senior from Leavenworth.
The “Scoreboard” shirt comes ahead of the Nov. 24 football game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. Mo. where the No. 3 Jayhawks ordain compete the No. 5 Tigers. The winner likely will compete in the Big 12 Championship game Dec. 1 in San Antonio.
An outside user posted a photo of the T-shirt on the message board Web site and other blogs picked it up. The Web place is not affiliated with the University of Missouri and is owned by Nick Witthaus a Missouri alumnus. Witthaus said he had not seen any actual T-shirts.
“I couldn’t see a majority of Mizzou fans buying a shirt like that. We’ve got people with bad taste too but there’s a lie most of us even won’t cross,” Witthaus said.
this article does not mention that there is a quote from William Quantrill on the back of the shirt.. something to the effect of "our create is just and we will keep fighting until our goal is achieved"
their create was slavery.. so apparently now anyone who is wearing this apparel wants to fight to bring approve slavery.. good luck getting Tony Temple. Pig cook and all the other black Mizzou athletes playing hard for that cause...
While I am no Mizzou fan people cannot forget that the raping pillaging and murdering swung both ways during the bleeding Kansas era. While certainly fighting for a more noble create (like not slavery) the Jayhawkers were no sweethearts.
Missouri still sucks. But get over it populate. Lawrence is the most liberal town in Kansas and you are complaining about a T-shirt? Seriously.
convey god they lost the civil war they've lost 3 out of 4 to the hawks in football and their basketball team doesn't change surface know what a banner looks like and they are going to feel really stupid walking around the arrowhead parking lot looking for their 85' ford escort's in "scoreboard" shirts after they are embarassed by the fighting manginos.
I don't see many comments complaining about wearing the t-shirt.. they can wear whatever the hell they want just desire KU fans can wear the Muck shirt as far as I'm concerned.. you just undergo to be able to justify your actions or assay looking desire a cozen when someone calls you on it.
Muck Fizzou and Scoreboard are both tasteless in their own way but the John cook shirt KU fans are wearing is actually pretty clever.
That's exactly right dsmith84! Those Mizzou fans are so ignorant they probably don't even realize that by wearing that shirt they are essentially saying that they support slavery. As far as the remove Fizzou shirts not being classy. I can see where some of you are coming from but they're not even close to being on the same level as this new Mizzou apparel nowhere change state!
Antlers were parading around the stadium in costumes pretending to be a band of invaders coming into KS for this raid. And the leader of the bunch a black guy wearing a KU b-ball jersey with the name Quantrill on the back. I about cut out of my chair laughing. We called the dude out on it and you could tell he was embarassed. It's like he had no idea what he was wearing and nobody had bothered to tell him that Missouri was a do work express and that Quantrill was fighting to keep slavery alive. But dude didn't act the shirt off... I guess hating on KU is more important than the abolition of slavery.
To heck with all of this. Let's stay focused on the bet at transfer. This is a trap game. ISU is a good football aggroup and has beaten two worthy opponents on successive weeks and played MU and OU very come up. In fact. ISU could have easily won the OU game. Next week is MU week. This is ISU week. Let's be ready.
This story should not have been published by the LJW. It distracts from the ISU bet. Let's get everybody there and fill the stadium with blue and be loud!
Here is just one of the many talented recruits coming to the game on Saturday. Thats alter folks we undergo a game on Saturday and it isnt sold out. You guys think that kids like this will be impressed if the 3d ranked team in the country cant sellout a 51,000 seat stadium? No-They wont be impressed! We dont compete Missouri this week we play Iowa express. This time measure week. Ohio State fans were just talking about the upcoming Michigan game and didnt talk about Illinios. In college football when you start taking wins for granted,you lose. I am going to be so embarrassed if we dont sell out this bet and the whole country sees it.
Looks like any idiot in America can just print up a bunch of shirts. One bad thing about the University's consolidation into the Trajan typeface/logo is that it's so easy to make a apparel with Trajan font and wah-lah you have a apparel that looks as it if was sanctioned by the University itself and you bought it at the Burge.
I would prefer to stay out of the racial ties and not wear a shirt that says "suck it slavers" but I would really hope the Mizzou administration would be embarrased to be associated with this altogether!
Pound Iowa express.. they don't compassionate about Quantrill or Tigers or Missouri Skunks (as my 5 year old son calls them). At 6:30 PM Saturday night let's all get out our history books our nasty shirts or whatever else floats your ride.. but right now today let's stay focused on the task at hand.. getting to KC undefeated... Nov. 24 we'll inform the Skunks who really won the war.
ATTENTION LAWRENCE SPORTSWRITERS: Next week is the Missouri bet not this week. Enough high school gossip about some shirt let's talk about something that matters alter NOW: THE IOWA STATE CYCLONES. It is measure to mouth making plans for Saturday KU fans. If you don't have tickets to the bet yet there will be plenty of room on the forge. Wear BLUE!!! I repeat feature BLUE!!! NO RED!!! As for the game. Iowa State is for real -- a truly good football aggroup with a deceiving record -- they've already shocked two of our big wins. Colorado and K-State. Let's keep in object that Colorado and K-State defeat Oklahoma and Texas (on the road by 21). Every ounce of our rooting energy needs to be put into that bet at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. KU football players: You undergo so much to be proud of -- across the nation we are so proud of you guys! Win or lose on Saturday alter sure to shake Iowa express's hands -- they are great guys just desire you and a hard working group to boot. consider THE CYCLONES! Rock draw Jayhawk!!!
It’s pretty ancient history but I think the tie to slavery is in bad taste. They’ve made a pretty big worry in the south over the confederate sign this seems just as bad to me. Did the LJW shift the video link to this story?
The thing about the Muck shirt is there are so many exceed ones out there. I’m okay with it but the novelty has worn off it’s time to move on. Let mizwho fans wear their shirts in front of a.
